A look back

Another one of those infernal “blog tag” quizzes: (I’m just kidding, they’re fun and helpful on days I don’t have anything too enlightening to say!)

What were you doing ten years ago?

I was a junior in high school, gearing up for my second semester. I probably had strep throat, since I got it every January. I was probably auditioning for Guys and Dolls (or possibly Damn Yankees, I can’t remember which one we did junior year). We had an incredible theatre program at my high school. Really. Anne Reinking choreographed our dance numbers.

What were you doing one year ago?

One year ago today I was getting in my moving truck and driving to DC. We had to race a snowstorm at the end of it.

Five Snacks You Enjoy:
Popcorn, peaches, pickles, nutty bars and oranges.

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics:
(Just five? Okay, but I do think that song lyrics take up valuable gigabytes in my brain.)
Baby Got Back by Sir Mix A Lot (because soemtimes I think it’s my theme song)
We Didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel (we had to learn the words in fifth grade, AND what they meant)
Fortress by Sting (because it was my first solo)
Little Plastic Castle by Ani Di Franco (because it was my recorded solo)
Cursum Perficio by Enya (because I once trnaslated the Latin for a school project)

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
One million dollars? I’d probably be that “millionaire next door” person. I’d invest, I’d buy a house, I’d have the leisure to write books without worrying about where the rest of my income would come from, I’d travel more, and I’d buy new furniture

I’m messy, I procrastinate, I don’t exercise like I should, I’m addicted to email, and I rarely floss.

Five Things You Like Doing:
Reading, writing, hanging out with friends, cuddling with Sailor Boy, napping.

Five Things You Would Never Wear or Buy Again:
Overalls, scrunchies, anything with big shoulder pads, all-lace underwear, a trapper-keeper.

My laptop, my iPod, my Palm, Sailor Boy, and the super secret thing that My friend Max got me for Christmas
